This simple yet profound story of a piece in search for its missing piece is touching and can be perceived in many ways. Its fun comic style illustrations enhance its simplicity, and the humor is perfect for all ages!

The poetry by Shel Silverstein in this book is so fun. It gives a playful, happy vibe, even when the poem is sad. ( )

This book is fascinating enough to introduce young children to poetry. I could see using this in k-2 to introduce the idea of rhyming and how it would look. ( )

This book is a beautiful book about a circle who is looking for it's missing piece, the circle goes on an adventure and search for the piece that fits it. On the journey it discovers more and more about itself. The circle then finds the missing piece and when they are put together the circle realize that it is better off without the piece and can't be it's true self with it. This book would be great for K-3rd grade and would be a great book to talk about self-worth and poetry. ( )

This simple story is told in a free verse poem, telling about the journey of a circle looking for a missing piece and discovering, all he needed in life was what he already had. This book would be great in K-2 setting for independent reading as it will build confidence, it also teaches literacy fluency as the pages and markings allow for physical pauses and for a natural and easing going rate to occur (the pages act almost as punctuations).
